Pure EV Becomes Second Ranked 'Born EV Startup' To File Over 100 IP Rights
Pure EV has filed over one hundred intellectual property (IP) rights, reaching a new milestone. The company has now become one of the leading technology player in the 'Born EV startups' category.
Highlighting on the research focused culture, Rohit Vadera, Chief Executive Officer, Pure EV, said, “Pure EV R&D program is focused on core technology development in powertrain design enabling us to offer a delightful experience to end users. We have nurtured a strong R&D team exceeding over 100 engineers, qualified in disciplines like thermal management, embedded systems, power electronics, transportation & product design, and electro-chemistry. As the EV industry grows exponentially beyond the early adopter phase, performance validation through extensive real world trials and testing processes is necessary. We have set up extensive R & D, and test facilities for this purpose at our Research center and plan to further deploy Rs. 200 cr in the next 18 months.”
The Company’s R&D center is co-located with the factory premises and has facilities agreement with the IIT Hyderabad to access state-of-the art R & D equipment and manpower, which enables an interaction between the R&D and Quality Control/ troubleshooting team. It helps the Company to keep development projects in mission mode and keep the entire focus of the R&D on increasing the utility, reliability and safety of the product for the end user.
